Singh told the T&#038;T Guardian she landed the job late in 2011 and she met Sharma in January 2013. \u201cNP\u2019s records would show that Affordable Window Wash Ltd cleaned their windows during 2011 and 2012.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Singh\u2019s \u201chigh-rise residential and commercial glass cleaning company\u201d is based on Murray Street, Woodbrook. Asked how she got the contract, Singh, 30 a former Miss T&#038;T\/India, said it was advertised in the newspapers and her company tendered and sent in a quotation. She said it was \u201cnot even a contract, it was a one-time clean.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She said her company cleaned NP\u2019s windows from 2011 to 2012, beginning  in October 2011, and payments would have come in early in 2012. Singh said all her companies are above board and that was why she went public with the Sharma issue. \u201cI knew they would have put my companies under forensic analysis.\u201d She said politicians should get their facts straight and focus on dealing with the nation\u2019s business. Everyone was veering away from the real matter, the assault charge she brought against Sharma, she added. <\/p>\n<p>Singh made the disclosures to the T&#038;T Guardian yesterday evening shortly after Opposition MP Terrence Deyalsingh told the Lower House, \u201cSacha Singh has a contract to clean glass at NP.\u201d He did not say explicitly whether this was the Sacha Singh involved in the Sharma matter. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNP is once again embroiled (in corruption). Today we are hearing Sacha Singh has a contract to clean glass at NP. NP has become one of the most corrupt state-owned enterprises,\u201d he said. \u201cWho is Sacha Singh? And what glass is she accustomed cleaning?\u201d Singh reported to the police that Sharma, former tourism minister, assaulted her in the carpark of Grand Bazaar on March 12. After mounting public pressure, Sharma, who is married with four children, resigned. <\/p>\n<p>Singh has been receiving negative feedback for going public about her affair with a married man. Semi-nude pictures of her have been circulating on the Internet and she called on the Prime Minister to intervene to stop what she said was a smear campaign from the UNC camp.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.tt\/news\/2014-04-05\/opposition-reveals-sacha%E2%80%99s-60000-state-contract\" title=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.tt\/news\/2014-04-05\/opposition-reveals-sacha%E2%80%99s-60000-state-contract\">http:\/\/www.guardian.co.tt\/news\/2014-04-05\/opposition-reveals-sacha%E2%80%99s-60000-state-contract<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ria Taitt April 04, 2014 Sacha Singh, the ex-girlfriend of former tourism minister Chandresh Sharma, has the contract to clean glass windows at National Petroleum (NP), St Joseph MP Terrence Deyalsingh revealed yesterday. \u201cWho is Sacha Singh?
